~ HIGHER
Cost of Living Has Also Risen,
But Not in Same
Ratio.
The 'workingman will start the
Bew year with wages higher than
•t any time in 1923.
Although an increase in the cost
of living has been coincident with
the rise in wages, the former has
not risen in the same proportion.
The actual increase in wages
during the year after allowing for
' the higher cost of living Is 3.9 per
eent in the weekly wage and 8.5
/ per„cent in the hourly wage.
i These statistics were announced
today by the National Industrial
F Conference Board, the research
agency for a large number of the
leading Industrial associations of
the country.
Little Cause For Concern.
In announcing the findings, the
beard declared there was little in
the year's course of wages, employ
ment, and the cost of living to
give cause for Immediate concern.
Between January and October
average hourly earnings increased
from 50.1 cents to 56 cents, a gain
of 11.8 per cent, while average
weekly earnings made a gain of 8.2
per cent from $25.08 to $27.14.
During the year, employment in
creased as high as 4.1% above the
figures for January, but by October
the January level was again
reached.
Actual Wage Increase.
An increase of 3.8% in the cost
of living during the first ten months
of the year in consideration with
the statistical increase in weekly
earnings of 8.2% brought about an
actual increase of 3.9% and 8.5%
in real hourly earnings.
The real hourly earnings average
for the year was 40% higher than
in July, 1914. The weekly wage
average was 32% above the last
pre-war figure.
In November, 1923, the cost of
living was 65.3% above the July,
1914, level but had declined 18.2%
fbom the peak of high prices
reached in July. 1920.
Food prices during the year ad
vanced nearly 4%; rents of low and
■tedium priced houses went up
nearly 8% and clothing advanced
nearly 9%. Only fuel and light
showed a decline in cost which
amounted to 5.4%.
During 1923 the board found tha,t
the advance in the cost of living
had advanced inconsistently. Fluc
tuations were largely seasonal and
bl November prices of those goods
and services which enter into the
consumption of families of small
and moderate means averaged 4.4%
more than they did a year previous.

WOMEN TO HOLD
CONGRESS
HERE
Session Here Next Year May
Result in Formation of
Party.
By H. K. REYNOLDS,
International News Service.
With the avowed purpose of end
ing the “subjection of women the
world over, to demand equality with
men in political and all other ac
tivities,’’ an International Parlia
ment of Women will be convened
in Washington next year, it was
announced at the headquarters of
the National Women’s Party here
today.
“After clamor’ng for the vote we
arc doing nothing with it,” de
clared Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, presi
dent of National Women’s
Party. “We need now to come out
in the open in asking for equal
rights.”
Tremendous Influence Seen.
A parliament of women from all
the countries of the world, Mrs.
Belmont declared, will give women
a tremendous influence in domes
tic and foreign affairs.
The program for the international
meeting will be featured by a
Women’s Congress, to convene
simultaneously with the Congress
of the United States, to voice de
mands on legislation, especially on
matters concerning women.
"When we get to Congress we
will be able to talk, having learned
our lessons in our own congress.
We will send to Congress our own
senators and congressmen, who will
surpass men in, intelligence and
wisdom,” declared Mrs. Belmont,
explaining the objects of the Wom
en’s Congress.
Building Is Planned.
Mrs. Belmont also announced that
eventually a building will be erected
for a Women’s Parliament here.
According to feminist leaders, an
organization of women into sepa
rate parties is likely to result from
the movement for a Woman’s Con
gress.

Salon of Work of Fifty
two Deputies.
I Over 800,000 miles were covered
i in the District this year by the fifty-
• two deputy marshals attached to the
; District Supreme Court, the Police,
. Municipal and Juvenile Courts, in
serving writs and processes of these
. tribunals, according to Edgar C.
i Snyder, United States marshal, who
[ spoke at the meeting of the Wash
. ington Salon and United Arts So
, ciety at the Playhouse. 1814 N street
! northwest, Rudolpe de Zapp, pre
-1 siding. z
These officials are allowed one
; car token for each trip they make
in serving the writs and they are
often compelled to make two or
■ three attempts to get personal serv
. ice. In order to dispatch business
at hand, they often use their fllv
' vers the upkeep of which is at their
: own expense.
Fees Eearned In 1923.
( The fees earned from the 41,321
[ writs emanating from the District
Supreme Court amounted to $26,-
, 968.74, and $24,256.87 was earned
> from 39,409 writs issued by the
> Municipal Court. The average sal
ary of the deputies is about $1,500,
i but the fees they earn is nearly
! twice that amount in some cases.
Included in the property seized
by deputies under writs of attach-

. shal, were twenty-six automobiles,
$325,000 worth of real estate, slx

I Marshal Snyder paid a high

sided over the courts. He said “in

! Rehabilitated Men Soon
to End Studies.
’ President Coolidge has sent out a
- caU to the business men of the na
j tion to follow up the rehabilitation
t of disabled war veterans by giving
1 them employment.
In a letter to Julius H. Barnes,
’ president of the Chamber of Com
t merce of the United States, the
President asks American business
men to organize a permanent com
mittee for this purpose.
1 Through the efforts of the Vet-
• erans’ Bureau, which has fitted vet
’ erans for work in business, profes
t sions and the arts, the letter stated,
’ opproxlmately 45,000 men and worn-
J en have taken new places in the
i working world. About 70,000 are
, still in training.
i The President pointed out that the
f Federal Government can assimilate
5 part of this number,' but private con
, cems must do their part also.
The plan outlined in the letter has
been in contemplation for some time.
, Conferences have been held in tne
» White House with Chamber of Com
-3 merce heads and officials of the Vet
. erans’ Bureau looking toward this
. end. In Cabinet meeting, the secre
i taries of the various Federal depart
t ments pledged themselves to give
. ex-service men and women every
C opportunity in making appointments
to the Government rolls. State and
municipal officials throughout the
country have stated similar inten
tions.
President Coolidge assured Barnes
that the central office of the Vet-
• erans* Bureau will co-operate with
the business men’s committee in
every way.
